Fibre optic AOC cable BlueOptics FG-TRAN-QSFP-4XSFP-10-BO 10 m MPO to 4×LC, 50 µm, Aqua

BlueOptics FG-TRAN-QSFP-4XSFP-10-BO is a passive multimode AOC (Active Optical Cable) designed to provide MPO to 4×LC breakout connectivity for short-reach data centre links. The 10 m Aqua cable features a 50 µm multimode core that supports high-density interconnects and InfiniBand or fibre-optic link applications where compact, reliable MPO-to-LC conversion is required.

Advantages

This fibre optic AOC offers a compact MPO to quad-LC breakout format that simplifies rack and patch panel wiring while maintaining signal integrity across short distances. The 50 µm multimode core and Aqua jacket conform to typical data centre multimode standards, enabling straightforward integration with existing 50/125 µm multimode transceivers and switches. The 10 m length provides flexibility for inter-rack and intra-rack connections without excess slack, and the passive design reduces power draw and heat compared with active transceivers.

Key specifications

How to use

Connect the MPO end to an MPO-compatible QSFP or MPO port and route the cable to the destination switch or patch panel. Plug the four LC connectors into the corresponding LC ports on SFP transceivers or LC adapter panels, ensuring correct polarity alignment for each duplex pair. Secure the cable along cable management channels to avoid sharp bends; follow standard multimode handling practices and keep the MPO and LC end faces clean to maintain optimal performance.

Recommendations

Inspect and clean connector end faces before installation, avoid bending below the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius, and use proper cable management to reduce stress. Choose 50 µm transceivers and patching hardware compatible with multimode Aqua-jacket cables for reliable operation in short-reach data centre environments.
